Earlier that day there was a thread named "One just has to love Prometeus!". I fully acknowledge this statement and had those moments loving Prometeus as a provider too. But I am also experiencing awesome support from the Nodedeploy guys these days and I highly appreciate what @AnthonySmith is doing for everyone with his 3€/y vps offer here on LET.
And then sometimes I have this feelings from real life like this: "hey I appreciate what you are doing and I would like to buy you a beer because you're just a good person and I honour that!"
So I come to my question..providers out there, have you every thought of providing a beer/tip money/donation box?
I could imagine Flattr, a Paypal button or my favorite a nice addon/product in WHMCS (aka your billing system) that I can buy in any amount. The price for a beer of course is different in many countries, but you can still buy a larger amount if you want so I would go for 2$/€ or 3$/€.
Of course providers shouldn't expect anything no matter how much effort they put in supporting their customers. It shouldn't be like in Star****s that people are pissed when you don't give them any tips (because their loan is too low and they basically have to "beg" for those tips (because the rents are too damn high)).
But I think that there are some people who would use that feature. And if they don't it didn't cost you anything! Also I have to add that you don't have to show your appreciation by buying anything but you can always just say "Good work!" or something if you are satisfied.
